Mayte "Child Of The Sun"

I have never heard Mayte's "Child of The Sun" album. Those of you who have heard it please give me your input of what you thought? And what does she sound like?

Yes, and it's also hard to find, and hard to find clips of songs, I even did a search on Imesh, and couldn't find anything on it...

It's easy to find on ebay. I saw one earlier today that was still sealed and nobody bid on it.

It´s a decent album. One of the better "associated artists"-records. Many of the songs are really nice: If I Love U 2Nite", "However Much U Want", "House Of Brick", "In Your Gracious Name" and the title-track are all very nice!
See the man with the blue guitar, maybe one day he`ll be a star...

The songs are cool, but she can't sing, so overall it does suck, IMO

It sucks,plain and simple.I'm sure you would want it because of the Prince connection,but honestly,this CD is garbage.Mayte is not a singer,and on these songs,she really has no personality.She sounds like just another half-dressed,non-singing,no-talent Prince protege/bimbo/sex kitten.The songs are mostly lame dance/pop tracks.On one song,Mayte even tries to rap!! Her attempt at serious vocalizing on "Love's No Fun" is humorous.And why oh why did Prince and Mayte have to butcher the old Commodores classic "Brick House" (now titled "House Of Brick")?


There is one bright spot on the album,the irresistible "Ain't No Place Like You".If Prince had given this outstanding song to a REAL singer,it probably would have become a smash.

It's ok. I probably would like it if I was 7. All the songs are by Prince and she's trying to sound like Prince and that's not her style.

Hey man, we all know that Madonna can't sing either. It's not that hard to get a record deal these days. I was actually surprised that she hasn't pursued the whole pop star thing further, because now days if you look good, that's about 80% of the deal, and you have a foot in the door. I thought she could have at least coasted on her looks for a while.
